This is our 6th consecutive visit and it won't be the last. It's an absolutely perfect place to enjoy outdoor sports; we kayak and bicycle the Little Traverse Wheelway. It's also an easy stroll into Petoskey to shop or enjoy the local restaurants. And then there's the view - you can also just sit and stare; it doesn't get old.

The upstairs unit where we stayed is perfect for two people. There is a sofa bed so can sleep more. It's very warm and welcoming. Beautiful views, quiet, the wood ceiling in the bedroom makes it such an inviting and cozy space. Jeff and Leslie are very friendly and made us feel at home. The walk into town is delightful. The fishing ladder at the end of the block makes for great entertainment. You won't want to leave!

We loved Petosky and the location of this property was perfect. It is an easy walk into town and to the walking/biking trails. Plus an easy drive to other great locations to visit. Enjoyed the lake view. The property itself was very cute and with the windows and skylights it felt very open. We’d stay here again

Great stay!

This was our 2nd year renting this property. Such a perfect location and a great place to relax between all the places we like to visit in town. Highly recommend JoJo’s Cookies just off of 31 while in town and it’s just down the road from a beautiful park and playground overlooking Lake Michigan that our kiddo loved to play at during our stay.

Perfect Petoskey Accommodation

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this charming property in Petoskey. As advertised, there are lovely views and it's a great location! It's a very short walk to the village shops, there are well-maintained bicycle paths, and there are several other northern Michigan towns a short drive away. We will return next year!

One of our favorite places

This is our regular spot for a fall retreat. It is a delightful location and the property is top tier. The owners are easy to deal with and very helpful. We were a bit late this year, but discovered places around Petoskey and Harbor Springs that still sported some glorious color. My wife and I look forward to being a bit earlier next year.
